- Title
Toronto's Inner Suburbs Through the Lens of Planning History.
- Authors
WHITE, RICHARD
- Abstract
This article is a study of the planning ideas that shaped the city of Toronto's 'inner suburbs', a large area of suburban fabric built in the first generation after the Second World War that houses nearly two million residents, some two-thirds of the city's current population. Planning was well established in Toronto at that time, and these suburbs were fully planned, at both a metropolitan and neighbourhood level. Much of this area has undergone a slow decline since the i 970s. The privately owned housing has not received the sort of capital upgrades that housing in the older inner city has and is becoming run-down, and the average income of residents has fallen. The article explores possible connections between this socio-economic decline and their planning.
